SAVANNAH REPUBLICAN.
Tuesday Evening, September 10, 1816.
The honorable Thomas U. P.Chauot, was, yesterday,
re-elected Mayor of this City, j
We shall once more, and it (may probably be the last
time, submit a few remarks on the subject of the ap
proaching concessional election. We have no section-
al feelings incompatible with Tie general interests of the
state, and sincerely wish to see (the true principles of re
publican simplicity and probity pervade every part of it,
untinctured bv that unnatural and impolitic jealousy,
which discrimiriates in its views betweeh the divisions of
.^e West and the East. We are,' surely, but one people
_one family of fellow-ci iz< ns, all aiming at the attain- samc circumstances,
mcnt of the same objects—(at least it is to be presumed
so,) the good of the state, its welfare and prosperity, if
these, then, are the objects of us all if it is denied, that
western influence watches with a jealous and susj iciou s
eye, the growing importance of this division of the state,
why should the west hesitate a moment in giving to this
division its just, legitimate, and appropriate weig ht in the
national representation? We have had every reason to sup
pose, that the determination of the up-country but a shor,
time back, was to send to congress an entire new represen
tation without consulting the wishes of this district; consi
dering. no doubt, that as the numericalfo. ee was against it,
population ought alone to govern. In a republic we ad
mit, tliat population ought to be the basis of represen
tation—that is to say, one section or district having a
greater number of citizens than another, is fairly entitled
to a larger number of representatives than the other dis
trict or sect.on. In admitting this, we think it right and
.fair; that the western parts of the state should out weigh
this district in t!te scale of representation: But we cannot
admit, and we hope no patriot or intelligent citizen will,
that because the West has the pi lysical strength—the force
of numbers and population, ihat this division great and
Important as it is, ought to be represented by western
members. It is absurd and preposterous to believe, that
a citizen permanently resident in the west, and possessed
only ofgeneral and imperfect views as it relates to this
district, can understand Pits local interests, or those in
terests, as they bear upon the western population. If
these interests are not Well understood, it results that
this district will be unrepresented, for, it must be
unrepresented, if the same solicitude is not felt for its
aggraTtCazenient as for any other section of the state.—
Can that solicitude be felt by men who are ignorant of
the means and habits of cur people, and who are not suf.
ficlently acquainted with the resources which give not
only imp ortunce to this district, but vitally and essen
tially promote the prosperity of die West? We are induc
ed to believe, that this kind of general reasoning has had
its proper weight of influence among the disinterested
patriots of the West; and, indeed among all men who
lire anxious for the high-standing, honor, and welfare ol
Georgia. Such men governed by thehone3t suggestions

The effective interference in behalf of our feljow-citi-
zens who were seized by the Spaniards on the Spanish
Maine, is an honorable trait in the conduct of the go
vernment; and the decision and dignity with which Al.
giers and the oilier Barbarian powers, on the African
coast, were brought to respect our flag, while it immor
talizes the gallant Decatur, reflects upon the government
under which he acted a lustre, that is the more brilliant
from the contrast which its tlfcct and celerity presents
to the pusilanimous movements of the Dutch fleet, and
the humiliating conduct of the. British navy in the very

Mr. Cathcart, the American consul at Cadiz, has done
honor to himself and his cqumiy, by the promptitude
witii whicli he interposed f r the liberation of Air.
-Meade; whose imprisonment appears to have been
brought about by a most vjllanous train of corruption,
by English intriguers in Spain.—ib.
As. G. W. Erving, esq. the American minister, bad ar
rived at Madrid, on the 12th of June, we may hope to
hear that Richard Meade, esq. will, by his timely interpo
sition, have been rescued from his tyrannical imprison-
ment .—ib.
The promptitude with which young Mr. Duplessis,
was rescued from the tyranny of the chief of Hayti, does
great credit to the public administration, we eoilld wish
to have it in our pq wer to pay this tribute of justice more
frequently.—ib.
The business of emigration is so great, that it threatens
to introduce a new era in the manners of mankind.—
Every family, like that of Abraham, will take a view at
its settlement of the habitable globe to find the place
where the (avvs are most mud, the economy of govern
ment is best observed, and the habits most congenial.—
Population will be like the market, where lee is of most
value, most safe, and most prolonged. It will then be
indispensable for good governors, not barely to contem
plate tile lingering death of state constitutions, but the
immediate choice of their subjects, and the" majority will
learn to respect the minority, which whenever oppress
ed will instantly withdraw. We shall then manage our
legislative as we do our commercial regulations.-—iEssex
Register.
The Norfolk Ledger, a federal paper in disapproving
of caucus nominations, observes, in relation to Messrs.
Monroe and Tompkins, “that it. is very probable tliat bet
ter selections would not hav.e been made if there had
been no nomination by the caucus.” This opinion ap
pears generally to prevail, for we have no instance on re
cord where the election of president and vice president
lias met, and will meet, with so little opposition, except in
the case of general Washing ton. It is highly creditable
to the character and talents of both gentlemen, tuat,
among so many valuable citizens whose experience and
public services merit, and no doubt, wilt receive, the
best proofs of confidence which the nation can give, thit
they are selected with the consent anel best wishes of the
people, and w ill, no doubt, enter into the duties of tiieir
respeedve s ations under the most favorable auspices.—

DRY TIMES.
Our olde t* inhabitants cannot remember, that the
Schuylkill lias ever been so low as at present—it may be
crossed on foot at the fans, without wetting’ the feet.
The meadows in the vicinity of the city, are perfectly dry
nd, unless speedily relieved from their parching state,
beast; but man, must' suff er from the long ab-
. . ... ; not only
of their hearts, must necessarily despise the. intrigues of gence of rain attiiis season of the year.—P/uladelphiupa
fattiunists, who under clamorous professions of zeal for
the public, conceal the deepest laid schemes of person
al aggrandizement. These schemes can only be frustrat
ed by electing citizens of tried talents and patriotism—
who have Ao connection with that aspiring, ambitious,
and unprincipled little party, which the firmness
of Jackson and his associates put down, and which
would now endeavor to raise itself up upon the
ruins'of the best patriotism and virtue of the state.—
The Compensation Bill (a measure yve detest) is convert,
ed into a wedge to split and divide the great body of the
people into parties hostile to that unanimity yvliich, since
the subversion of federalism and the detection of Yazoo
iniquity, has distinguished die public measures, and the
public men of this state.
Let us take care that this weapon is not wielded by
men, who possess no other means of stealing the public
confidence. Let us not abandon menvwho have been
guilty of one sin, to elevate others who have a thousand
to answer for. Be the western opinion on this subject,
however, whatit-tnav, we still contend, that it offers no
fair argument against giving this district a representative-
We again say tliat this representative ought to be Otilo-
nel CcTHsnjtT, because he carries with him the best
wish es of the Eastern Citizens, and because he is better
seqv tainted with, eastern interests than any member can
be fr om the west. With western politics we will never
inter fere, and wish success to the members whom a ma.
jorit; r of the up-country may have designated: All that
is ask ed in return is the exercise of a similar liberality to
ward: » this division of the State.

the South American revolutionists in.ve captured, and

The Weather, during the Spring and Summer, has been,
perhaps, as extraordinary in Europe, as in America. In
both quarters of the Globe, the Spring was unusually cold
and vegitation unusually retarded. But while a long and
severe drought has prevaded every part of our country,
almost the yvhole of Europe has been drenched with se
vere and continued rains.—J\i'ew Pork Commercial Adver

It is stated by a passenger in the United States; that the

- The prince regent waffrbrought to town seven days
ago. He has held, what is called a court,- but no body
besides the ministers have seen him, with tile exception of
the recorder of London. It is, as I said some numbers
.back, Dropsy which he has. The fright has had an effect
upon liis mind, long become feeble and tainted, perhaps
with hereditary insanity., What a sight is here for a
people like the English to behold! How ashamed must
every roan of sense and spirit feel at this sight! What a
warning for the peophjjif. America! Surely these things
cannot long be tolerafijgf This man expends, on him
self and his immediate txteociaies, more every week than
the President of the United States is allowed for a year.
His stay-maker and milliner receive more out of the Eng
lish taxes than Mr. Madison receives out of those of Ame
rica. And yet, the Cossacks of New England said, that
they would prefer the English government, monarchy and
all. Really, if they should still be of the same-opinion,
and will but just move over to Nova Scotia, or go up to
Ncw-Brunswick, I do not know but we might consent to
their haring some of the hopeful race to reign over them.
Not the regent! oh no! He is too precious an article for
us to spare. Suppose wc resign the duke of York and
Mrs. Ciarke to tnem?
